In June our Run/Walk group went virtual! One of the best parts of this wellness group is that it provides the opportunity for CalPERS team members to connect with each other while staying active. Since we can’t be together at this time, our Run/Walk group supports each other virtually. They share fitness goals, milestones, and the pictures they take along the way.

“When you can't control the world, you can, to a

“When you can't control the world, you can, to a large extent, control your response to it,” Michelle Tucker, Chief, Human Resources Division, had only been at CalPERS for 2 weeks when we had to transition 2,800 team members to telework. We credit her excellent communication and quick response for helping us make that shift so smoothly. Michelle would like to extend that gratitude to HRSD for meeting team member needs while their own work environments were rapidly changing, “I can't thank my team members enough for all their work. They clearly rose to the occasion.”

Michelle was our 2019 Spotlight on Excellence winner and was working for Caltrans at that time.

“I feel that health and fitness are fundamental

“I feel that health and fitness are fundamental to living the best life we are capable of,” says Christian, Fitness Director of the Fitness Center at CalPERS. Christian is a Sacramento native and came to work for CalPERS in 2017 as a fitness specialist. Before the pandemic he would wake up at 4:30am and spend some time playing with his dog before heading to his job at the Academy. After that he would come to CalPERS for a few hours, “I've developed friendships with so many amazing, positive people at CalPERS--some members of the Fitness Center, and some folks who I have met through the Run/Walk group or in Wellness Time Outs. I love the people of CalPERS.” Christian offers a few fitness tips for Men’s Health Month:
1️⃣ Make the time to take care of yourself.
2️⃣ Don't fall for the trap of comparing yourself to others and their accomplishments.
3️⃣ Be patient, both with your progress and with yourself.
